Pedestrian Permit Distribution by Blue, Lank, avidd opolis, Loki, Ben Yamiin
August 19th, 2008 8:41 PM / Location: 37.788926,-122.4021
So Avidd, Lank, Loki, Strum and Drain and Blueberry Mascarpone answered the call. We decided on this task, and that the perfect place to do it would be at the intersection of Market & Montgomery Streets, where there are lots of these little plaques on the sidewalk:
Avidd provided some nifty uniforms (see the video) and made a boatload of these little permits:
So we got together on a Monday evening, met with Andy, and he taped us "online gaming geeks" in action!
SFØ made the news!

The Plaques
There are at least half a dozen near this intersection.
Blue and Avidd
Looking sharp, ready to assist.
Loki
... or as I call him, The Enforcer.
Permits
Very official.

Sweet completion. The security guy was classic - shut that camera down or I'll... do... something...
Interacting with security while tasking is always fun. They never really know what to make of it.
ha ha ha… when you play SFØ you don't just make the news, you make the news!
Wholly shit is that a Pirate Monkey Vote!
Hotdamn!!!
Now you're a Rupert Murdoch-approved activity for young people.
Uh-oh.
You say "Murdoch-approved" like it's a bad thing.
Hey, it's what I personally aspire to with my recreational time ....
Actually, it's kind've a personal goal to *upset* the Wall Street Journal, if possible.
Now there is something I've got to see!
Well, why don't you tell us about it...
Here I made you a gift.
Amazing. Seriously, everything about it is just... Wow. I was going to do this task, and now I'm going to have to think of a super creative way to do it. Well, it stops me from being lazy! Anyway, more thumbs up.
there be magic in this here taskin'...
a piratish monkee... a guru of the sciences....
what would you have appear next, comrades???
They made us look a bit friendlier than we really were...
He's right some of us looked like downright Zombie Harry Potter's... *snickers*
Yeah, avidd, you roughed me up good. That didn't get in the video.
Wow that WSJ video was interesting. And it featured GY0's Play With Food completion.
Fantastic taskin'.
You guys look the the Ghostbusters. Particularly Avidd.
no, literally. avidd busted my ass. he roughed me up and threw me off the sidewalk when i didn't have a permit.
I don't know what to say! I was laughing so hard the office manager came back to my desk to make sure I was ok....... That is completely awsome (like the hot dog)!
Did your manager recognize this as something so awesome he had to get an account just so he could vote for it as well? Because it is.
